Regal 1900 Bowrider 2007 vs Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 1900 Bowrider 2007 vs Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 measures 42,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 23,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2007 at 19,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 tips the scales at 20 500 lbs - 17 700 lbs less than the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2007 at 2 800 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Regal 1900 Bowrider 2007 is rated for up to 8 people. Passenger data for the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 at 42,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list.
